ND Governor steps up evacuation orders at Standing Rock

Earlier this evening, Governor Jack Dalrymple of North Dakota signed an executive order calling for the immediate evacuation of the protesters at Standing Rock. In it, he said that the mandatory evacuation would remain in effect even if the Army Corps of Engineers changes the routing of the pipeline.

This takes place a week before veterans from all over the country arrive on December 4th to stand in solidarity with the water protectors. The sheer disregard for the rights of the Standing Rock and their supporters is mindboggling, to put it mildly.

Below is the text of the order. Note the disclaimer at the bottom of the Free Speech Area map about the accuracy of the map:

About ew

ew came of age during the winddown to the Vietnam War, and like many other Americans, as soon there wasn’t an issue that didn’t affect him personally, he became indifferent. This gradually changed during the Reagan and Bush I years, continued through the Clinton years and finally came to a head with the passage of the Patriot Act in 2001. He works as a freelance consultant/tester for various music hardware and software companies, and lives in Minnesota with his cat and other weird and wonderful noise machines.
